Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
In the Desktop app agent dropdown, hovering an agent currently shows only its name. Custom agents with a description in markdown frontmatter have no way to surface that text while picking one.
Please show the agent's description in a tooltip or hover popup on each dropdown item. Desktop-only: the TUI cycles agents one at a time, while Desktop already has a list you can hover.
Related but different:
- #45112 asks for TUI marquee of truncated descriptions
- #4825 was TUI
/agentscutoff (closed) - #35321 showed descriptions in TUI
@autocomplete (closed, needs:issue)
This is specifically Desktop picker hover, not TUI and not a new agent field.
I have this working on my fork. Hovering anywhere on an agent row (or arrowing to it) shows its markdown description:

Happy to open a PR if you want it.
